Guardianships

In some cases, an elderly individual may not be able to effectively care for him or her self and are left with an inability to make decisions. Our firm assists clients seeking a guardianship over an adult to ensure that their health and well-being are protected. By securing a guardianship, a family member or other trusted individual can be charged with making medical decisions on behalf of the individual (called a ward). We can assist you in pursuing the guardianship and dealing with other aspects of elder law, including Medicaid planning and arranging finances to allow for nursing home care if necessary.
